  • Question
  • Statement: Should there be a complete ban on use of all types of chemical pesticides in India?

    Arguments:

    1. No. The pests will destroy all the crops and the farmers will have nothing to harvest.
    2. Yes. The chemical pesticides used in agriculture pollute the water underground and this has become a serious health hazard.

  • C. Either I or II is strong
  • D. Neither I nor II is strong
  • E. Both I and II are strong

  • Correct Answer
